[QUOTE="dobes918, post: 1709079, member: 374050"] [b]overly sensitive trackpad.[/b] I have the same problem with a 2015 12" macbook with Force Touch trackpad. Before this I had a 2011 11" Air, with no similar problem, and before that a 2006 Macbook - again, no problem. I am fairly sure my giant thumbs brush the trackpad occasionally, causing the majority of the cursor skips and unintended highlighting, but there should be a setting that directs the trackpad to ignore input while the keyboard is in use. I don't like the idea that this is all the user's fault with our careless, hammy hands and unwieldy thumbs, as we have all used computers with trackpads before, and without this sensitivity problem. I also find that most people complaining of this have Force touch trackpads - the normal trackpads still on Airs, for example, don't seem to have this problem, though it's surely not true that all Air users have graceful hands! I hope Apple addresses this sometime soon, as it's the only thing spoiling my experience with my new computer! [/QUOTE]
